He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not
reap.{ Ecclesiastes 11;4 }
If you wait for perfect conditions, or regard the seasons ,times ,and clouds
above , you will miss your God given opportunities.
God's ways are as hard to discern as the pathways of the wind,and as mysterious
as a tiny baby being formed in a mother's womb.
{Ecclesiastes 11;5 nlt }
If you are always gaurding yourself ,keeping watch on everything .Making sure
you are safe ,comfortable ,and secure .You will have
missed it .Life will be boring ,no adventure ,no surprises ,no ventures of faith
.Faith requires risk and if you do not risk you do not live .
All men die ,few ever really live ! { braveheart }
We must have faith ,we must not stay here but go forward by faith ! Faith is
always looking at that which is not and seeing things as if they are.
Knowing also that the things which are seen were not made of things which are
visible .{ Hebrews 11;3}
We must have courage ! and believe what God has said . We cannot wait for
perfect conditions to go forward with life ,visions,dreams ,relationships
giving of our resources ,time and walking with God .We must act upon the
revelations we have received and "GO" .
We cannot keep watching , keep gaurding, keep protecting
keep securing our lives, and observing the wind before we act .What has the holy
Spirit been nudging you to do ? or asking you to do ? why have you
kept yourself back from doing what is right ? or what are you suppose to do ?
Are you waiting for perfect conditions ? It will not happen !
The right time is now ! regardless of the situation or conditions .God has
called you and will meet you ,fight for you ,be with you .
God often calls us to do something impossible ! sothat he may be glorified ! he
challenges us to use our resources for his glory !
or do something that may fail or not  ,or cost you .Then Jonathan said to the
young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these
uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us.{ 1 Samuel 14;6 }Perhaps
the Lord will help us {nlt}...It may work it may not ,but we must go
by faith ! and leave the results to God ...
Opportunies present themselves but we make excuses worried about this or that or
that we will not have enough for ourselves or be without.Most likely
you will be without ,or lack if you do so .Again conditions are not right "for
you" but for God they are right !
But it is here where faith operates ! in doing those things that cost you .That
are not comfortable ,that are not safe ,that are
sacrificial ..But do you believe what the word says ;He who did not spare His
own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? { Romans 8;32 }It
requires faith to believe that God will meet you as you
care and meet others needs .
Conditions will never be perfect in the life of faith or it wouldn't be faith
.If you wait for perfect conditions you will never act.
Again conditions will not be perfect or convenient nor will they ever be in the
life of faith .But we cannot observe the wind
or regard the clouds ..or we will not sow or reap .If you are always worried and
concerned that you will not have enough
for yourself and are looking out for number one .Then God cannot lookout after
you .If you are still seeking to secure your own future
then how can you secure others future in Christ ? or help others ? If you are
still worried about your own safety ,security and comfort
then you cannot see the needs of others nor the kingdom of God .
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
for My sake will find it. { Matthew 16;25}
Unlesss you are willing to risk your own security ,safety and comfort you cannot
serve God affectively .Are you willing to sacrifice
everything ,security ,safety ,comfort possibly life ,to follow me ? says the
Lord. The willingness to risk
is the price of entry to the kingdom of God .
Those who throw themselves into the arms of God abandoning their will for His
know what it means to dwell in the secret place of the
Most High God .He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will
trust." { Psalm 91;1-2 }
Ladies and gentleman ,we must plead with God to increase our faith and " Go 'by
faith .If you remain shortsighted you will never see
the mighty acts of the Lord and his great works .If you can only see the
temporary you will have missed it and will have wasted
much of what God has for you and a life of significance and purpose .Do not be
deceived by the cares and pleasures of this
life .But forget yourself , lose yourself in God and go forth and take the land
by faith and "Go' and act !
Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you
do not know which will succeed,
 whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.{ Ecclesiastes 11;6}
And He { Jesus } said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which
the Father has put in His own authority.{ Acts 1;7 }
